Love and Butter
I REMEMBER THE first three really terrific
meals I had in Boston. They were at Sage,
Biba and Sonsie, and they were quite possibly
all some version of melt-in-your-mouth
ravioli. This was during the cult of Italian cuisine
in the 1990s. I can still see the beautiful
presentations; taste the sage, browned butter
and my first sip of a Rodney Strong Cab;
feel the delicate pasta on my tongue. And I
recall the excellent company, tables of five or
10 friends. Since then, Boston’s dining scene
has exploded with fusions of global cuisines
as well as a move toward local, fresh and seasonal
ingredients, and every year I find a new
favorite. We now claim some of the top restaurants
and chefs in the country.
For me, food is tied to my passion about
New England. For most of us, food and passion
are inextricably linked; appropriately,
we’ve joined the two together in this, our
wine and dine issue. Sex and the City 2 star
Cynthia Nixon dishes on what she thinks is
sexy (page 70), Boston Harbor Hotel chef
Daniel Bruce enlightens us on some of the
most gorgeous and shapely glassware (page
76) and six of Boston’s most beloved chefs
connect their passions with food (page 78).
During the photo shoot, the chefs agreed
that the sexiest foods are those you eat with
your hands. Bring on the raw bars, ribs and
fresh fruit—all our summer favorites! Eat your heart out, Boston.

My Summer Dining Craves

Sushi at O Ya—some of the
most innovative Japanese
cuisine anywhere
The turkey burger at
the Atlantic Fish &
Chophouse in Edgartown.
It’s so good, last year I ate
one three days in a row.
Oysters at B&G Oysters. I have a hollow
leg for oysters, especially those from
Island Creek in Duxbury and the tiny, briny
kumamotos.
The Niçoise salad at Bistro du Midi. What’s
better than a fresh summer salad on a patio
right beside the Public Garden?
Ceviche at Corazón del Mar on Nantucket. It
doesn’t hurt that
there’s a tequila
bar upstairs,
either!
Not only is Stephanie’s on
Newbury my
favorite peoplewatching
patio, but also their chicken salad
with almonds and capers hits the spot.
Sassafras sorbet at Craigie On Main is the
most fl avorful way to cool off on hot nights.
Marc Orfaly’s foie gras crème brûlée at Pigalle was the first
thing I ate in 2010. It
capped off the perfect
night and began the year
on a most delicious note.
The Philly cheesesteak
spring rolls at Davio’s are my kryptonite; I
have no willpower
around them. |
